Darts competition

Sean Hatfield, Treasurer, Old Oscott Football Club,
Birmingham:

'Old Oscott Football Club was approached by the local Working
Men's Club darts team about running a darts match as a fundraising
event. The format was agreed as a 12-a-side match with a 501 start
and we agreed that the charity we were raising money for would be
the John Taylor Hospice. We had a projector so that the crowd could
see the dartboard, with entrance music for each player, and a
compère reading out the scores. We sold between 150-200 tickets and
ran a raffle with prizes donated by players and members of the
club. Unsurprisingly the darts team won 10-2, but we raised £705.66
and everyone had a great night!'
